Wax combination questions

I am going to try the following combination after washing and clay:



Klasse AIO

Klasse SG

PS21

all of the above will be applied by hand



I have a few questions:



Is this a good combination, can it be improved ?



What is best applicator / remover for the AIO ?

I assume the AIO will get rid of swirl marks etc ?

How much pressure should I use when applying it ?



What is best applicator / remover for the SG ?

Is one coat enough ?



What is best applicator / remover for the PS21 ?



To keep the finish looking good I will use a quick detailer spray after the weekly wash. What is the best one to use and does it need to be caranuba based to work with the PS21 ?



I will then apply a new coat of PS21 every 4 weeks .....is this too much ?



If I do this how long before I have to go back start all over again ?
 
YES Good combination YES / NO are you trying to start a WAR ;)



For AIO A terry better cutting action / 100% cotton towel then a MF to remove the rest



MINOR MINOR swirls yes by hand medium pressure



SG do a search [Bill North Method] / Foam applicator ONE section @ a time. Remove with MF plush then final wipe with regular MF Becareful you do not want your hands to touch the finish while removing the SG no more than 2 coats



PS21 / S100 use the applicator supplied MF



Meguiars Final Inspection #34



Thats fine with every 4wks If you maintain the vehicle like you stated I would say every 6 Month should be FINE



Just my 2 cents GOOD LUCK

Yeah, that's good, but *I* would use Meg's #16 instead of the P21S. MUCH longer lasting, looks about the same.



What is best applicator / remover for the AIO ?



I use foam or MF to apply, MF to remove.



I assume the AIO will get rid of swirl marks etc ?



Not really, especially by hand. Even on my Jag's super-soft lacquer, it does NOT remove marring for me. I'd suggest a mild abrasive first. Let IT deal with the marring. AIO is really just a paint cleaner, despite what that ad copy says.



How much pressure should I use when applying it ?



Enough to clean the paint, not enough to mar the paint (not much of an issue if you use something soft to apply it).



What is best applicator / remover for the SG ?



I apply with foam and remove with MF (preferably "suede-style").



Is one coat enough ?



*I* would sure apply more. Several coats last a LOT longer than one and look better too.



What is best applicator / remover for the PS21 ?



Apply with foam, remove with MF.



To keep the finish looking good I will use a quick detailer spray after the weekly wash. What is the best one to use and does it need to be caranuba based to work with the PS21 ?



I find that #34 eventually strips my LSP, so if using a carnauba I'd use a more compatible QD. The carnauba-based ones are all good, and so is Qwik Shine.



I will then apply a new coat of PS21 every 4 weeks .....is this too much ?



Nah, that's fine, you might have to do it more often. Can't really overdo it. But if you used the #16 you wouldn't have to do it as often.



If I do this how long before I have to go back start all over again ?



Depends on your conditions and how you wash. I didn't top my SG on our minivan and it's still OK after more than six months (but I had quite a few coats of SG on there). When I had topped it with #16, I could go a year (!) before I had to redo with AIO, etc. And even then I didn't have to use a polish.
